Acquired Wisdom 

Acquired Wisdom (AW) is a publication series that preserves and transmits knowledge and skills obtained through experience by distinguished educational researchers. In their essays, authors share: 1) their perceived major contributions to the discipline, 2) major lessons learned during their careers, and 3) their opinions about the personal and situational factors (institutions and other affiliations, colleagues, advisors, and advisees) that stimulated their significant work. Authors for the project are selected and invited with the consultation of the Advisory Board.
